Top Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Panel Manufacturers in Guyana 2024 Market Insights

As Guyana accelerates its transition to renewable energy, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems have become a cornerstone of national infrastructure projects. This article explores the growing solar manufacturing sector, key players like EK SOLAR, and actionable insights for businesses seeking reliable PV solutions in South America's fastest-growing economy.

Why Guyana's Solar Energy Market Is Booming

Guyana's solar capacity grew by 28% annually from 2020 to 2023, driven by:

  • Government targets to achieve 70% renewable energy by 2030
  • Falling PV panel prices (now averaging $0.28/Watt for grid-scale installations)
  • Increased foreign investment in utility-scale solar farms
